What happens if you get pregnant before your divorce is final?
If you are married and wind up pregnant at any time prior to the divorce being finalized, the court or judge is going to “stay” (hold open) the court proceedings and not allow the divorce to go through until after the baby is born.
Can I divorce my wife while she is pregnant?
Yes. If someone is pregnant during the divorce, the other spouse will automatically be a legal parent once the child is born, even if the child is born after the divorce is finalized, and even if the other spouse is not biologically related to the child.
Can a baby have 2 last names?
Parents may give their child any name they choose. Traditionally, children born to married parents have the same last name as their father. A child can have the mother’s surname, a hyphenated name made up of both the mother and father’s surnames, or any name the parents choose.
Can I sue husband’s girlfriend?
